Younger players CAN play up….so they CAN be on 2 rosters (within same Organization)

One reason we stress having the correct rosters is because we are partnered with Baseball BlueBook. An simply by playing in events, all players have a free account ( these profiles are google searchable) and all of the data from events (stats as well as analytics) are available to every college and professional team at no charge to them.

Game Rules

Only the players on the published roster can play each weekend.

No free substitutions….(But we allow each player to re-enter the game 1 time)

DH and EH allowed (EH will be considered a additional position, therefore he can be substituted into the game)

Courtesy Runners for Pitchers and Catchers allowed for speed up rules. (runners must not currently be in the lineup, but they can enter the game at a later point. If a team has no subs, the last recorded out (non pitcher or catcher) can be a courtesy runner.

Sr Division – BBCore Bats -3 (wood allowed)

Jr Division – BBCore Bats -3 (wood allowed)

Prep Division - BBCore Bats -3 (wood allowed)

Jr & Sr Division games will be 1:45 unless stated otherwise

Mercy Rules…..12 after 3, 10 after 4, 8 after 5

International Tie Breaker after 7 innings (1 inning only in Pool Play) (If tied when time runs out, 1 innings of Intl Tie Breaker then games ends regardless of outcome)

Entry Rules

Remaining fees are due on the Monday prior to the event along with your roster.

Deposits and Entry Fees are non refundable and non transferable.

If a team does not pay the entire fee on the Monday prior to the event, team will be dropped from the event.

Tournaments are filled on an invitation basis only! Teams must request invite to participate.

In the event of rain, games may be shortened. After 2 games played, no refunds. At all times, the Showcase will cancel Championship games in an effort to ensure as many games for all teams as possible. We may declare a Champion based on win-loss, runs allowed, etc.

If a team cancels attending an event already registered for there will be no refund of deposit unless the team finds a replacement.

$200 per game refund if less than 2 games and will be mailed within 2 weeks of the rained out event (Fall Refunds @ $100/game if 2 not played)

Additional Showcase Rules

All Sr Division Teams must be able to play on Thursday night if scheduled

3 games of Pool Play determines Championship Games on Sunday

There will be a Championship Game each week for the Prep,Jr, and Sr Divisions (with less teams, Championship game with no Semi Final)

In the event of ties in Pool Play (also used in seeding use RA and RS if still tied, team with most games in SESS events as last determining factor), SESS will use Head to Head, Runs Allowed , Runs scored and lastly coin toss to determine Semi-Final pairings

In the event of a forfeit, runs will be counted as number of innings to 0 for the forfeited team. If a game is not played it shall be counted as 7-0.

Players or Coaches ejected from a game are automatically SUSPENDED from the remainder of the event. (Site Director has final say on this)

Teams should always arrive 1 hour before games. If games end early, games may be started ahead of schedule!

Teams should carry a copy of their Insurance with them at all times (or fax a copy in advance of events to 678.868.4455)

Friendlies & Fall Events

Friendly Matches are those events set up by the Showcase Series that have reduced prices, allow subs and serve as games for teams to play to continue showcasing their ability while allowing coaches to move them in and out of games as needed. Recruiters will be on site recording foot speed, velocities, etc.

All Fall events are OPEN events meaning no Jr or Sr Division. Entry Fee is $550 for 3 games and will all be played on the main site. Games are only played on Saturdays and Sundays.

As with all events, Teams are required to have insurance for their players. As we do not sell insurance, there are groups such as Nations Baseball (www.nations-baseball.com) that provides low cost accidental medical policies for teams.
